Tyler and ben plan on taking a road trip to yellowstone national park. tyler's car currently has 45,000 miles on it. they plan on traveling, on avergae, 60 mph. define the variables. write an equation that represents the car's mileage according to the number of hours that they travel on the trip. use the equation to find the odometer reading after 13 hours of travel. show your work.

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
